NOLO is a great, free informational site. Also, be sure to read what the USPTO (United States Patent & Trademark Office) has to say about patents.
Associations may be a good avenue to explore. These organizations will address many of the thoughts, questions and concerns you'll inevitably have as well as many you haven't anticipated yet. See the source box for some relevant links.

its called a poor mans patent you draw up all the details and sketches seal it in an envelope and mail it to your self,and dont ever open it,it works because the post mark establishes the date in which you cam up with the idea,,,and it might be wise to have a public notary stamp and sign it and have them document the day in which it was done so that if you ever need them in court they will remember you.

go to the U.S. patent website and discover more information on that. Do a google search for that.

There are entire books about how to do this - I even think there's a dummies guide - go to your library
